Chapter 449: Capture (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What surprised Xiao Shi was that he saw a familiar face among the dozen or so prisoners. This person was the old man in his cell!
Previously, when Xiao Shi was killing in the cell, the other party did not even look up. He had never opened his eyes from the beginning to the end. Xiao Shi also sensed danger from this old man. He knew that this person was very powerful and extraordinary.
Unexpectedly, he was actually among the people on this trip.
Soon, under Xiang Zizhen’s lead, they left Prison City and headed for the territory of the demonic path. In the Xingluo Province, nearly half of the territory belonged to the demonic factions.
Not long after they left Prison City, they stepped into the territory of the demonic path. What Xiao Shi did not expect was that the demonic path factions did not guard the borders. They easily entered the territory of the demonic path.
Moreover, after coming here, Xiang Zizhen did not let them put on any disguise. They openly marched into the territory of the demonic path forces.
This made Xiao Shi realize that although the demonic factions were not much different from the orthodox factions in terms of territory, the two were not on the same level in terms of strength. At the very least, it was extremely difficult for people from the demonic factions to enter the territory of the orthodox factions.
However, people from the orthodox factions could enter the demonic factions nonchalantly. It was like his own backyard. The moment he stepped into the territory of the demonic path, everyone clearly felt a completely different atmosphere. The sky here was dark red, and so was the ground. There was a strong smell of blood.
Xiao Shi also felt as if he had returned to Blazing Yin City.
They continued forward. On the desolate land, there were very few people. Not a single person could be seen. Xiao Shi finally saw people here when they arrived at a dilapidated small city. The people in this dilapidated city were also from the orthodox factions. This place belonged to one of their strongholds in the territory of the demonic path.
“Well rest here for the time being. Well start tomorrow!” Xiang Zizhen said to everyone. He also made adjustments and allocations for tomorrow’s operation. Apart from capturing people from the demonic factions here, they would also search for some opportunities through the prisoners they brought out.
Hence, tomorrow’s operation was divided into two teams. One was the arrest team. One was the Treasure Hunting Team. Many jailers could choose to join the team they want. However, Xiang Zizhen directly pointed out that he wanted to bring Xiao Shi along personally. He had no choice.
The next morning, everyone began to take action.
Xiao Shi followed Xiang Zizhen all the way with three other jailers. They would capture the people from the demonic path.
Under Xiang Zizhen’s lead, they arrived at a valley. In this valley, there was a demonic faction called the Fiend Blood Valley.
“Our mission this time is to capture people from the Fiend Blood Valley’s people. 1 will personally deal with the Blood Fiend Valley’s Valley Master. The rest will be captured by you.” Xiang Zizhen looked at them and said solemnly.
“According to the information we have, apart from the Martial Demon Realm Valley Master, there’s also a Martial Soul Realm cultivator at the Life Spirit Stage, three Martial Soul Realm cultivators at the spiritual sense stage, and ten Martial Soul Realm cultivators at the Soul Awakening Stage. Although we are far inferior to them in terms of numbers, 1 believe in your strength.”
The jailers that Xiang Zizhen brought out this time were all elites. One of them was at the Martial Soul Realm at the Life Spirit Stage, and the other two were at the spiritual sense stage. They were all outstanding martial artists of the same realm.
As for Xiao Shi, although on the surface, he was in the soul awakening stage, Xiang Zizhen had already roughly estimated Xiao Shi’s strength through his performance in the cell. He felt that even if Xiao Shi could not kill a Martial Soul Realm expert at the spiritual sense stage, it was not difficult for him to survive in front of a Martial Soul Realm expert at the spiritual sense stage.
“Are there any other questions?” Xiang Zizhen looked at Xiao Shi and the others and asked. The three jailers shook their heads solemnly.
Only Xiao Shi asked, “Can 1 kill them?”
Xiang Zizhen was not surprised at all, as if he had expected him to ask this. “The credit for killing him is only half of the credit for capturing him.” He glanced at Xiao Shi and said.
Xiao Shi nodded. In that case, then he’ll capture a portion and kill a portion. In any case, he had to kill the people from the demonic path when he returned.
The difference was, the credit he obtained from capturing them could allow him to exchange for more prisoners from the prison.
All in all, it would definitely be more profitable to capture them. He would be able to kill more people. However, if he considered the need to increase his strength through the items he dropped as soon as possible, it would definitely be more appropriate to kill them now.
Therefore, Xiao Shi felt that killing a portion and capturing a portion was the most suitable approach for him at the moment.
“Move out!” Xiang Zizhen growled.
Boom!
They stepped on the ground at the same time and rushed into the depths of the valley with Xiang Zizhen.
Xiang Zizhen was the fastest. It was like a dazzling meteor. There was a bang. He rushed into the black city in the valley.
Boom!
It immediately exploded in the city. A terrifying power ripple spread out from the black city.
“Retreat!” The pupils of the few jailers who were originally charging forward constricted. They immediately retreated. These were ripples caused by the collision of two Martial Demon Realm experts. They were far from what they could withstand.
Xiao Shi had already retreated far away to avoid being affected. After the ripples dissipated, they continued forward. When they approached the black city in the valley, He immediately saw two figures soaring into the sky from the city and attacking into the distance.
Be it the Fiend Blood Valley’s Valley Master or Xiang Zizhen, they had no intention of choosing the battlefield in the city. After all, the attack of a Martial Demon Realm was shockingly powerful. It was a disaster for others.
Once they fight in the city, the entire city would be destroyed, and there would definitely be casualties. This was not what either of them wanted to see.
After the two Martial Demon Realm experts left, the jailers immediately sped up. They directly charged into the city.
Xiao Shi followed behind the three jailers. He did not rush to the front. He knew that the reason why Xiang Zizhen brought them here was to let them capture enemies of their respective strengths.
Xiao Shi’s goal was the ten people from the demonic path at the Soul Awakening Stage. As soon as he stepped into the city, Xiao Shi immediately found one of the people at the Soul Awakening Stage. This was a burly one-eyed man with an eyepatch on his left eye and scars all over his face. His body emitted a dense murderous aura.
The three jailers who came with Xiao Shi also saw this one-eyed man, but they chose to ignore him and directly swept past him.
Killing intent flashed in Xiao Shi’s eyes. He was prepared to kill one first and have a good meal. His speed erupted. Although his avatar could not reach the level of the main body in terms of speed, a blood-colored baleful saber had already appeared in his hand during the charge. Thick baleful aura first spread towards the one-eyed man. It seeped into his mind.
However, to Xiao Shi’s surprise, the one-eyed man was completely unaffected by the impact of the murderous aura. His expression did not change at all.
“Hmm?” Xiao Shi frowned. He felt that something was wrong. Although the murderous aura of these people from the demonic factions was generally much stronger than those from the orthodox factions, they would not be unaffected by the murderous aura because of this.
The scene before him was really strange!
Although Xiao Shi did not understand the reason for this for a while, after he approached, the blood-colored saber in his hand still slashed at the one-eyed man as usual.
Swoosh!
The blood-red saber whistled past the one-eyed man’s body. It slashed his entire body into two. However, when the one-eyed man’s body fell to the ground, there was the sound of a mirror shattering.
This was not his real body!!
Not only that, a blood-colored saber beam appeared on the one-eyed man’s body and slashed at Xiao Shi. It was exactly the same as the saber that Xiao Shi had cut the one-eyed man into two..
